Handyman Corner

Handyman Corner is the longest-running segment on The Red Green Show, appearing in almost every episode of the series. In this segment, Red Green demonstrates a handyman-type project (usually in an effort to show how one can be lazy). Projects range from the simple (replacing a car headlight or making a batch of chili) to the complicated and even ridiculous (turning a car into a backhoe or a Zamboni, getting the Possum Van to run on propane, or creating a rocket engine out of a water heater). While most of Red's inventions actually work, some don't turn out quite right and a few have ended in disaster.

Handyman Corner is the place where Red extols the virtues of duct tape most often. He uses it in virtually every project, and even finds a use for the empty rolls by turning them into a rack for a "beer cellar" in one episode. Red also signs off almost every Handyman Corner with the phrase, "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." Another aspect of Handyman Corner segments involving vehicles other than the Possum Van is the almost-exclusive usage of 1980's-model sedans and coupes, most notably Chrysler K platform cars.

In a similar segment, Red offers quick tips for handymen everywhere, such as keeping your tools close by and remembering to turn off your power drills.
